Round 4 – Essendon v Collingwood: As Far As The Sky

 

Anzac Day ~

I go along expecting

the worst

 

 

 

 

autumn drizzle ~

slowly the stadium

fills

 

 

 

 

a muffled roar

ends the minute

of silence

 

 

 

 

lost in thought

after the Last Post

players already

in their positions

 

 

 

 

steady drizzle

diving in

for every tackle

 

 

 

 

wet afternoon ~

youngsters making

a splash

 

 

 

low cloud ~

a drop punt goes as far

as the sky

 

 

 

but

through the gloom

Swanny!

 

 

 

almost dark ~

somehow we find a way

to win
